Bingo!  I got warnings about tainted kernel (I have 2.4.21, not 
2.4.20) but from the website I gathered that it was fine with my 
kernel.

I think I've got a handle on stopping msec changing perms, so now all 
I have to do is get it automatically insmod-ing.  I'll go back to the 
web page now and sort it.

Thanks for all your work, and for your patience.
